[Thank you for the commuter pass of "Dongdong"!] I wish you all the best in your work and a happy Dragon Boat Festival! Everyone eats more zongzi \(^o^)/~]

Zhao Zhen rubbed Zhang Rou's meal again, holding a toothpick in his mouth and crossing Erlang's legs.

"Wife, what about a matter for you?"

Zhang Rou: "Uh-huh! ”

Zhao Zhen: "I received a recital from Yang Sien's kid today, this kid is showing off how hilarious he is with his mother-in-law in Hainan, I look at it and my teeth itch!" You said that I, the emperor, haven't accompanied my wife to the honeymoon yet, this product actually dares to steal the limelight, and when he comes back, he has to clean up and clean him up! ”

"Huh!" Zhang Rou smiled: "This is what you want to say?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "No! I'm just whining in passing. Everyone wants to be the emperor, but when the emperor is locked up in the palace every day, he can't go, I'm bored, how about we learn from Kangxi for a private visit to Weifu? ”

Zhang Rou: "Husband, I definitely agree with your idea." But can you leave the court behind? ”

"Hurry!" Zhao Zhen stretched his waist and took a long breath: "Over the years, I have always been aiming for this goal. To this end, I have set up a cabinet system to handle daily government affairs, set up a supervisory yuan and an anti-corruption bureau to supervise officials at all levels, plus the sages who are scattered throughout the states, and I believe that when these mechanisms are fully operational, there will be no problems in the affairs of the imperial court in a short time. What's more, there have been many emperors in history who have not been in court for decades, and the country is still operating, and it is not necessary to leave the emperor! ”

Zhang Rou: "That's the same!" Then when the time is ripe, let's also go to play a private interview with Weifu, anyway, we are still young now, don't worry! By the way, you started talking about something, what's it? ”

"That's right! Why did I get rid of this again? Zhao Zhen patted his thigh: "Hey, thinking jumping is a disease, it has to be cured!" ”

"Yes, it will be cured!" Zhang Rou nodded: "Let's get down to business first!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Things are like a drop!" When Yang Sien and the others went to Hainan, they met a group of pirates there, and saved a merchant by the way. He learned from this merchant that now the maritime merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are gradually becoming more active, and the profits of the maritime merchants are extremely high. Wife, do you have any thoughts on this? ”

Zhang Rou: "You mean let's go and get involved, okay?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "I think it is very necessary, and now is the best time to develop maritime transportation. If you think about it, our land passages, the original Silk Road, have now been cut off, our trade routes with the Liao State have just been established, and there is not much effect, and the Tibetan side is in turmoil. At this time, we will guide the shipping with half the effort, and when the time comes, the ministers of the DPRK and China will also be pulled, and there must be a good thing to make money, and no one will object. ”

Zhang Rou: "Then do you want to do this in the name of the imperial court?" ”

"No!" Zhao Zhen shook his head: "This matter can't come in the name of the imperial court, otherwise it will become a state-owned enterprise at that time, but it will become a burden." According to my meaning, you let your sister open a maritime trading company in the south, and let them take the lead in the development of shipping in the southeast. And I will pry the ministers and those imperial relatives again, and ask them to pay some money to go to Guangzhou to get a shipping business. In this way, we secretly control the two shipping companies, not only to let them dominate, but also to keep them competitive and vigorous, but also to play an exemplary role in the industry, in one fell swoop! ”

Zhang Rou: "How to get the income of the imperial court?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "This is simple, I looked at the records of the three cities of Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Mingzhou, do you know how much tariff they charge?" I'll tell you, the lowest is 10 percent! Wife, think about it, if the entire southern shipping is driven, the imperial court will be able to collect taxes just by sitting and collecting taxes. ”

Zhang Rou: "Since you have thought about it, then I will repair a letter to my sisters and ask them to do this." It just so happens that the river is almost saturated, and the shipyard cannot be left idle. ”

……

The next day, it coincided with this month's court meeting.

According to the routine, Zhao Zhen spent half a day to deal with the government affairs during this time.

Zhao Zhen: "Ladies and gentlemen, your affairs have been dealt with, and I have something to announce." ”

"Please ask the emperor to order, and the ministers will listen to you!" Yan Shu bowed down with a group of ministers.

Zhao Zhen: "The economic envoy Jia Xian sent a fold two days ago, and he has completed the opening of various branches of my Da Song Qian Village, and the branches have also entered operation. However, the economic situation has a bearing on the stability of the country and should not be taken lightly. I plan to let Jia Xian set up an economic department in the household department to strengthen the supervision of the Great Song Money Bank, and at the same time standardize the code of conduct of other major money banks. ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" At this time, there is no applause, but the applause that the leader should have when he speaks is still indispensable.

Zhao Zhen: "Then leave this matter to Fan Aiqing!" ”

Fan Zhongyan: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "In addition, I want the queen to serve as an advisor to the Economic Department......"

"Wait, Your Majesty!" Before Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Yan Shu stood up: "Your Majesty, you just said that the emperor should be appointed as an advisor to the Economic Department, although the minister doesn't understand how you are the advisor, but it is not appropriate for the harem to interfere in politics!" Please think twice! ”

"Please think twice!"

There were quite a few people who responded to Yan Shu this time, after all, the whole tone of the Song Dynasty was to prevent a possible rebellion. For this reason, not only did he adopt the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force, but also greatly weakened the rights of each prince, and at the same time, he attached great importance to the choice of the queen, so he was worried that his relatives would interfere in politics.

In this case, Zhao Zhen was also prepared: "Everyone, please get up!" I understand your concerns, and you are also for the country, I know them. My arrangement is also well thought out, and the queen's ability in doing business is obvious to all, and she is also the founder of the Great Song Money, and she is the only one who understands the entire operation process best. Moreover, I gave her the position of advisor, which is not a real job, you can think of it as a staff member, that is, giving advice or something. So, you don't have to worry! ”

Yan Shu thought about it, what the emperor said also has a little truth, since the bosses of the people have explained to everyone in a low voice, they can't always hold on to it, in case the emperor's little temper is provoked, it will be even more difficult to clean up, take a step and take a look.

Yan Shu remained silent, and the other ministers died down without taking the lead.

Zhao Zhen continued: "It has been a while since the former director of the Supervision Yuan, Lu Zongdao, passed away, and this position can't always be so vacant, so I plan to let King Ding take this position, I don't know what you think?" ”

Yan Shu: "Begin to play the emperor!" The king is generous, fair and strict, and the ministers have no objections! ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and looked at the other ministers: "Do you still have any objections?" ”

"No objection to the ministers!"

Zhao Zhen: "That's good! That's it. Today's state affairs are over, and I am talking to you about a private matter. A few days ago, I read Yang Sien's recital, in which he said that the shipping industry is changing with each passing day, and because of its profits as high as ten times or even dozens of times, many coastal people and businessmen have turned to trade. However, due to the lack of effective industry norms and guidance, today's maritime trade is relatively chaotic, and there are also some people who like to work hard to rob at sea, kill people and steal goods, and the situation is very serious. Therefore, I plan to learn from the queen to build a company that does maritime business, firstly, to make a little money, and secondly, to guide the whole industry on the path of healthy development. I don't know, are you interested in getting involved? ”

Yan Shu: "Your Majesty, let's go to the court to do business, it doesn't sound good!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "What Yan Xiang said is that this thing must not be done in the name of the imperial court. What I mean is that everyone here is interested in contributing money together, let's put the money together, I find someone to go south to do this, and we control it in secret. When we make money, we are distributing dividends according to the amount of money each person pays, and each person can share how much they share in proportion, which is called this shareholding system. I have even thought of the name, this maritime trading company is called Yanhuang Trading Joint Stock Company! ”

Fan Zhongyan saw Zhao Zhen's court wink, and stood up hard: "Your Majesty, there are many people eating in this house now, and the money is really not enough." You see that the business at sea is so profitable, such a good thing must be brought with you! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "It's easy to say!" It seems that Aiqing is in charge of the money bag all day long, just to be sensitive! I don't know if other people are still interested, if you are interested, just give me an excerpt, it's early today, let's go back to eat! ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, those ministers returned home and pondered, and many of them had already secretly engaged in shipping. In the face of that exaggerated profit, many ministers temporarily sealed the festival and sent their servants to deliver the music to Tong Zhilang, and it arrived at Zhao Zhen's desk later.

Zhao Zhen looked at the stack of pieces on the desk, and finally showed a knowing smile.

And after Yang Sien's father-in-law was received by Zhao Zhen in a daze, he quickly sold the properties in the capital one by one, leaving the unfinished house in the new city. Then he took his son and a bunch of hardcore men and their families to embark on the ship headed south.

……

Yang Sien and Qi Zhonghao, who were far away in Qiongzhou, took 2,000 soldiers and captured pirates to open up the wasteland during this time. One is for the future use of tuntian, after all, it is also troublesome for thousands of people's stomachs to rely on transporting grain elsewhere, and the other is also to make room for planting rubber trees in the future.

Since Ding Wei received the new appointment, he has also begun to work hard to take care of the government affairs of Qiongzhou, and for his talents, the sparsely populated Qiong is not a problem at all.

Yang Sien and Qi Zhonghao didn't bother him, and when he sprinkled the rubber tree seeds he brought back from the Americas into the nursery, Zhao Zhen's reply also arrived.

So, Qi Zhonghao led the Marine Corps to stay behind to take care of the nursery, and at the same time to suppress a bandit by the way, and at the same time exercise and train the army. Yang Sien took his newlywed wife and led Tiansheng No. 1 and Tiansheng No. 2 to Guangzhou City to buy supplies.

On the bow of the Tiansheng No. 1, Zhou Xiangyu took Yang Sien's hand and asked with joy: "Xianggong, is it true that you said that your father and they also arrived in Guangzhou?" ”

Yang Sien: "Of course it's true! Xianggong will still lie to you. Moreover, they will settle here in the future, and we can visit them every time we come back for supplies. ”

Zhou Xiangyu smiled: "Great! It's the first time that my parents are so far away from home at such an age, and I really miss my father and brother! ”

Yang Sien squeezed her little hand: "There are two days left to go to Guangzhou, and then our family will get together!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Xiangyu nodded heavily: "By the way, Xianggong, do you know how they came to Guangzhou?" ”

Yang Sien shook his head: "Xianggong doesn't know very well, the Holy Lord briefly mentioned it in his will, so I took you over to see them!" ”

Zhou Xiangyu nodded obediently, and everyone's beautiful demeanor was all between this smile. (To be continued.) )
